There was a great turnout at this year’s Party in the Park! It was a great night to gather to support sarcoma cancer awareness and research, and to celebrate as a community!
Party attendees enjoyed a variety of activities, including carousal rides at Cafesjian’s Carousel, photo booth, inflatables, sponsor and resource booths, and amazing music by Ben and Friends. Tono’s pizza oven and A Touch of Magic airbrush artists were a few of the attendees’ favorites! Thirty-eight-year survivor, Kraig, shared his sarcoma story on the main stage, which was an inspiration to all! All of you make this event so special!
Huge thank yous’ to event chair, Heather Douglass, and program emcee Ruth Bachman. Heather’s passion and positive attitude brought organization and leadership to the event. Ruth was engaging and inspiring, and her story touched many. So many people were instrumental in the event’s success!
